So ITT, tips, tricks, and shortcuts! /o.o/
Edit: Here is ONE of the jpegs so far! ((Ignore the fact I forgot to reshow the walls! I was just getting one of the omni lights to try and work.))

3ds Max 2010
Currently working on my room/scene for class, and it is taking FOREVER to render, and I need to have at least 5 rendered jpegs for the assignment. The whole thing was really quick to render until I started putting in the lighting and shadows. Now, what took mere seconds takes upwards to 20 minutes! I know it's only going to get worse from here on out ((I've heard "horror" stories of some taking an entire day to get rendered right!)) but it's still frustrating right now especially since I am still very new to the program!

Looking good! If you're using photometric lights, you can try the mental ray renderer, too; that may speed things up.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm, never thought to use the mental ray renderer. One question though, in my max file, the colors are nice and rich/dark and the lighting looks really good, but when I render it, everything is bright and a bit washed out. I can't seem to figure out why, any thoughts?
ReplyDeleteOhhh, I had that problem recently, turned out my exposure control wasn't adjusted right. Tweak that a bit and it might fix it, though there could be other things throwing a wrench in your gears. If you're rendering MOV movie files, too, MOVs in general tend to wash things out, so you have to compensate it for in the scene by adjusting the lights.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, not rendering MOV files just yet, just jpegs. I'll definitely have to look into that exposure! I kept thinking it was something defaulted in the program that kept doing it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the advice! Not even my professor or classmates could figure it out. xD
